About

Plaistow North sits in the west of the London Borough of Newham, an area that grew up within the old parish of West Ham. The ward is mainly residential, with long runs of late-19th and early-20th century terraces and pockets of municipal housing. A compact high street runs through the centre, where independent shops, takeaways and occasional market stalls serve day-to-day needs. Local primary schools, community centres and places of worship reflect a range of backgrounds among residents, and small playgrounds and pocket parks are spread through the streets.

The built fabric changes quickly from narrow terraced streets to short terraces broken by low-rise shop parades and light industrial units where small workshops and garages still operate. Local cycling and walking routes link those streets to larger routes across Newham. Steady development pressure has brought a mix of new housing schemes and refurbishment projects, and ward-level community groups are active on school provision, street safety and green-space improvements. The area’s pattern of short terraces with rear yards and tightly aligned shopfronts gives Plaistow North a recognisable urban grain.
